Later this year, I plan to replace my Colnago road bike. It has served me well over the last twenty years, but finally seems to be giving up the ghost.
I'm a diehard steel fan, but have been considering titanium. I don't like carbon fiber (which I also have), because it flexes when sprinting and climbing (at least with me it does). Aluminum falls in the carbon category for me as well.
So I wanted a consensus from the cycling community on the BBS: what are your feelings about steel frames or titanium? Which would you choose over the other, and why?
I plan to have the frame built to my measurements, so, in a sense, all things regarding Ti vs. steel will be equal in geometrical proportions.
Here's who I am considering for the work:

Any advice would help.
Thanks.
